I’ve been driving for over 20 years, still enjoy driving manual. But some people never enjoy driving and see it as a chore, I guess you must be one of them.

And “emergency” is just when you need acceleration now. Like for when you overtake someone or are merging on the highway.

Also I know America bashing is popular on this website but you just came across as prejudiced and ignorant. And FYI I’m not even American.
